Depth sounder arrived well packaged. Clear, detailed instructions were helpful in understanding how to install and make connections. My installation was in a factory dashboard on a Key West 2020WA with standard 2in 1/8 diameter openings. This depth sounder requires a fair amount of space/depth behind the dash board so measure carefully to be sure it fits. Final install looks like factory OEM. Hardest part of project is getting transducer cable from the stern to the dash. One suggestion is when and if you have to fish the cable through narrow spaces of your boat, you might as well pull another piece of wire or string along with it so next time you can just pull the spare lead and make the next job easier. Simple clear read- out of the Lowrance device give various display readings of depth, water temp or both. Save instructions so you can remember how to adjust various settings.

the depthfinder installs and works as promised. took about 2 hours from start to finish, and that was taking my time. shows depth accuratly at 50 MPH (WOT) only minor fault was that it should include at least one cable tiedown for the stern cable location. all in all, Great product!!

Unit comes with NO built in power on/off switch. Power the unit on and off by adding a switch or using the boats engine control key on/off power.Easy to install and use. Comes with speaker for shallow water alarm function. LCD display is large and well back lit. Back lighting can be wired into instrument illuminitaion control. Temperature gauge reads surface temp in area of transducer.Transducer is small and easy to install with cable enough for about 15' boat.
